However, since I did not understand how to measure droop the Teemu way I just used 3mm frt and 4mm rr droop (using ride height).

I have since learnt to measure droop the Teemu way (thanks to Jon Kerr!), but have not had a chance to run it. Also, I have noticed that the Teemu setup on the net (Schumacher website) is different to that of the instruction book. Which one are you guys using? Or are you using Paul W's latest setup?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We are running the Kit set up.

Make sure you hit every point of the setup exactly. If you fudged one setting it could make the car not work as expected.

Make sure all shock have equal rebound, all suspension arms are completely free and that you car is tweaked.

The only time that I had a push last weekend was when I forgot to sauce my tires properly before a qualifier.

If you have every detail of the setup exactly and you want more turn in move the rear arms forward 1mm. This will make the car rotate more on corner entry.
